Farm Hallrice Club club completes year Hallrice Dairy Calf Club has wound up another successful sea­ son and will cap the year with an awards banquet December 1. The club held its first meeting at Ken Siertsema’s in April. Ken opened the meeting with the 4H pledge, and members played a game to introduce themselves and this year’s leaders. Members held the club executive elections. Positions were filled as follows: president, Mike Pentland; vice-president, Arthur Bos; secre­ tary, Donna-Lyn Armstrong; trea­ surer, Shannon Hallahan; and press reporter, Lori Armstrong and Shannon Hallahan.

Members com­ pleted meetings two and four in their lesson books, and the meeting was adjourned. Donna-Lyn thanked the Bos family for hosting the meeting.
